Can't go online with mail

For some reason I can't get my mail Online.  I keep getting an error that says that the server "p99-imap.mail.me.com" refused to allow a connection on port 143.  I can go onto Safari and check my email, but I have folders set up in mail that I need to put things in.
Any thoughts?

sounds like your firewall or your router or your isp are blocking port 143
as when you access mails over safari it's over port 80 like all www traffic

  • Cannot go online with mail

    I have recently joined a new ethernet network and now cannot go online with mail. Safari and othern internet applications run fine but when i try the connection doctor it says that i'm not connected to the internet.
    I solved a problem on MSN by changing the proxy setting in the application, but i can't see how to do this in mail.
    Can anyone please help?

    The Mac OS X 10.4.7 Update introduced connection issues as a result of (according to the documentation) "Mail now supports connecting to mail servers through a SOCKS proxy". If that's the problem, you must go to System Preferences > Network and disable the SOCKS Proxy in the network configuration used to connect to the Internet, if it's enabled.
    Also, go to System Preferences > Network > Show: Network Port Configurations, and make sure that the configuration used to connect to Internet appears at the top of the list.

    Hi,
    Also try turning Off Face Time
    Open Face Time
    Go to the Preferences
    Set it to Off.
    Also make sure your router has the Time and Date/Time Zone set as this upsets Face Time which in turn upsets IChat

    Hi, i am having the same problem. this is what i have noticed.
    I have 2 x imac's and 2 x macbook air's
    i upgraded the 2 macbook air's and 1 of the imac's to Mountain Lion, all these have problems acessing sites that require you to login .
    the one remaining imac is still running lion and works perfect.
    i am using a dlink router with DD-WRT firmware, i tested teathering from my iphone and i can log into websites fine using the newly upgraded mac's.
    It's not a wireless issue as my imac is using an ethernet connection.
    is there a compatibility issue with some routers.

  • Can I go online with my ipad using my iphone connection?

    Can I go online with my ipad using my iphone connection?

    If your phone carrier supports it (and it may be an extra fee/subscription), then yes you can use the iPhone's personal hotspot function to share its connection with the iPad - the iPad should see the phone as a wifi network.

  • Can't get online with 10.4.11?????

    I have a 2.16 GHz Intel iMac and updated to 10.4.11 and now I'm unable to get online w/ mail, safari, itunes, etc. I'm wireless with a Belkin N1 router. My good ol' iBook 10.3.9 is working fine, so I know my modem and router are working. I've read other threads on the topic but I'm still having trouble. Any wise MacGuru out there who can walk me through this?

    Well, I am able to browse the internet again, and actually i still don't know why exactly i wasn't before. The update seems to have fondled a bit with my network settings, the ip-address that I received from my local network had changed to a 192 number while normally this is a 172 number. After updating the network settings (actually nothing has changed, just some back and forth-changing) it got the right ip again and internet worked. I have actually no clue about the reason why it keeps changing ip's. Strange update this 10.4.11. Now I manually have changed my ip-address, hope it keeps working.

  • Can't go online with Skype

    I'm on a private Wifi network at my work. I have access to the whole internet, including this page that I'm writing on now.
    However, starting today, I am unable to go online with Skype. I can login and see which of my contacts are online. But I'm unable to set my own status as Online. In fact, I can't change its status to anything other than Offline.
    For the first time this morning, I was prompted to set up Skype Wifi. I don't need that, so I closed that window without setting it up. When I go to that window (command-4), it says I'm not connected to Wifi (although clearly I am, as this published post confirms).

  • Can you use Exchange with Mail.app?

    Hello,
    I have attempted to search for this answer but have not found anything that really helped me. Can someone guide me to an url or resource to see if using Exchange on a Mack with Mail is possible?
    Thanks so much!

    Hi all;
    For MS Exchange on Mac, you need to run IMAP4 on MS Exchange server to allow Mac users connect and download emails locally using Mail.app (copy from emails remain on server like Outlook).
    For that do the following:
    1. Enable IMAP4 service:
    a. From Services (Local).
    b. Microsoft Exchange IPAM4.
    c. Change it to Automatic.
    d. Start the service.
    2. Enable IMAP4 in MS Exchange system:
    a. Exchange System Manager.
    b. First Organization.
    c. Servers.
    d. 'Server name'.
    e. Protocols.
    f. IMAP4.
    g. Default IMAP4 Virtual Server.
    h. Right click and Start.
    3. Restart MS Exchange server.
    On Mac client (Mail.app):
    1. Add new account.
    2. Email Address: [email protected]
    3. Password: user's password.
    4. Account Type: Exchange.
    5. Incoming Mail Server: "MS Exchange server" IP or Full DNS name (i.e. Server.test.com).
    6. User Name: [email protected]
    7. Password: user's password.
    8. Outlook Web Access Server: Same to Incoming Mail Server.
    9. Outgoing Mail Server: Same to Incoming Mail Server.
    10. Check "Use Authentication" and fill User and Password fields.
    11. Check "Take Account Online" .
    Note: Mac users have to join the windows domain
    Regards

  • Can't receive email with Mail 4.4 - but iPad does

    Hi guys,
    I have a strange problem with Mail 4.4: I have multiple email accounts that I manage through Mail - all work fine except my gmail account, which stopped receiving emails about a week ago. Here are some details:
    1. The account constantly shows the "busy" icon (rotating circle) but Mail Activity window does not show anything.
    2. I can send email from the account - but not receive any emails for this account with Mail.
    3. I access the same account through my iPad and iPhone - both work perfectly fine (i.e. get all emails), it's just Mail that does not receive.
    4. The Connection Doctor shows no errors - all lights are "green"
    5. I can access the corresponding gmail account through Safari without problem - all incoming emails are shown correctly
    6. The account is set up as IMAP
    There is one occurrence that is probably related to the problem and could help with a solution:
    1. Mail 4.4 created a new folder called "Recovered Messages" for the gmail account and started saving tons of messages in it - or copies of one message to be precise. This happened at the exact point in time when Mail stopped receiving emails for this account. The email in this folder is one that I attempted to sent, but never did: I composed it and dragged some attachments into the compose window. One of these - accidentally - turned out to be 25MB so I figured that email is too large and closed/deleted the email before sending it.
    It now seems that mail is reloading this gigantic 25+MB email over and over again into the "Recovered Messages" folder. I tried to find that email in Drafts, Sent or Outbox folders but it is nowhere to be found - I have no idea from where Mail loads this over and over again.
    Can you help? Many thanks in advance!

    First time I can answer my own question
    I did some more research and found a thread about the issue of large emails getting stuck and reloaded into Recovered Messages folder:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2153401
    This one did the trick for me (posted by Miguel Lira):
    If you're experiencing the "Recovered Messages" issue it may be related to offline processes that are failing when you open iMail. For me the fix was to open a terminal window and delete all the files in the following folder: ~/Library/Mail/[email protected]/.OfflineCache

  • Can I buy online with a mexican credit card, and pick up my order in store days later?

    Hello,
    I live in Mexico, and i will be in San Diego for vacations next week.
    I would like to buy some things from the apple store online with my mexican credit card,
    so, i need to know if i can buy from here in Mexico with my credit card, and then when i arrive
    to San Diego CA. i can pick-up my order in the Fashion valley Apple Store.
    Can i do it this way? Thank you so much for your help. I will be waiting your answer.
    Greetings,
    Vanessa.

    No. A Mexican credit card will not be accepted in a US store. Even if you place your order in the Mexican online store, the order cannot ship to the US. If your permanent residence is in Mexico, then buy in Mexico where your warranties are honored.

  • After update: can't go online with desktop app

    when I try to work online with y desktop app this window opens up "going online, please wait" - then nothing happens. I already reinstalled Story and Air but the problem still exists. This started after an update a few days ago. Before everything was fine.
    Please help, I have to be able to work offline and then go online to sync my work with others.

    With the latest update of Story, now it will not be possible for you to work in online mode inside AIR application and use the functionality of online-offline syncing of your data, if you are a free Story user. Though you can work in AIR-offline if you are an existing user on that machine. You should receive a message regarding this at the time of login in AIR app.
    So now you can only login to AIR-offline to access your work that is there on your machine while you can use browser app to access your data that is on the cloud.
    Thanks
